Gone from the home Of his childhood,
Leaving his loved ones to mourn,
Gone from bis youthful companions,

Post-Omce inspector McAfce Chats About
Swindiing Schemes.
There have been some mighty sleek
schemes found out lately, but l don't
think any OF them has oqualcd that
played some time ago in Alabama. A
young fellow went "brokc'' in a town,
and being handsome and of good ad-
dress, he made friends in spite of his
bad luck. He finally met the post
master, who was taken with his evil
dences Of good breeding. He filed the
postmaster's ears with q story Of how
he had left a home OF ~anlucnce in
Vermont and was too proud to
beg among strangers. He easily
induced the postmaster to write to
his fictitious mother, telling her
Of her sons straits and asking her II
she would receive him back. Before
the answer could come from there the
sharper manufactured a bogus stamp
for the Vermont post-office and wrote
himself a letter addressed to n neigh
boring town to the one he was stopping
at. He went ovor to the place. and
apparently having received it through
the mail returned to his postmaster
friend and showed tho letter, which
was signed "Your mother" 1t was
full Of n mothers most endcaring
terms, and pleaded with him to return.
1t told how she would gladly send him
enough money to pay his way home
If she was sure it was he. and it said
she had been dupcd twice out of large
sums by people who claimed to
be her son. Incidentally in clos
ing the letter 1t was remarked therein
that il any friend would loan him
enough to got home with so she might
DO sure 1t was her son she would glad
ly pay back twice, yes, three times. the
sum This caught the postmaster. 1t
was q too easy way Of making several
hundred. and so he loaned the
mothers boy" ono hundred dollars.
The latter started for home. aud in n
few days the letter the postmaster had
written came back marked, Returned
to writer" No trace was ever found
Of the prodigal, and but little sympa-
thy was wasted on the postmaster,
who had played to win q good stake

Large messy stones are grouped in the
middle TO hide the post which protects
the pipe; and in the interstices of these
stones are placed ferns and MOSES from
the woods. Moses may also equip the
lichened stones which are set in the rim
of a pool.
The intention is to give the jet play
only so often as will keep the basin fairly
full and ensure the luxuriant growth of
the ferns and MOSES.
Thus managed, an available surplus
of water will give more delight to a
country household than if shot through
a cast-iron fountain, which would cost
its hundreds, in place of ten or fifteen
dollars which would secure the modest
one we have pictured.

In England and on the continent, gar
deners are regularly trained for this en-
ployment by a long apprenticeship. 1t
has been proposed that in this country
we should have experimental gardens in
every State, where young men might
be educated and trained for this calling.
Some would carry their schooling far
enough to become head gardeners otthe
large establishments of the rich others
would remain long enough to learn how
to do al ordinary garden work. The
latter class would be the one most wanted.
Young men employed in commercial
nurseries, market-gardens, and florists
establishments, or in any gentleman
grounds, might soon learn enough to
qualify themselves to do skilled labor,
and to earn corresponding wages. Such
workmen are continually inquired for in
the country, but can seldom be found.
In large village under our own eye,
aside from those gentlemen who employ
gardeners by the month, there are many
families who would be glad to employ
skilful laborers part of every month.
Two or three families by clubbing to-
gether, would give constant employment
to such a gardener at high wages; and
so each town would furnish handsome
support to several.

The wits of the days Of the old phiIos-
ophers had of course their laugh at the
expense of the strong-minded women,
but "woman's rights were not thus to
be laughed down in Athens. Ten years
later, Plato returned to the defence of
the lost cause in his ideal "Republic, "
and to this day the most logical ard
thorough-going system of "woman's
rights may be found in that mastery
treatise of the great speculative philoso-
pher of antiquity.
" There is. F." he adds, " no art nor
part in the arrangement of State as to
which the nature of man has any advan-
tage over that OF woman. ;" Hence Wo-
men, equally with men, should be train
ed for the function of magistracy, and
should learn not only intellectual accom-
plishments, but also gymnastics, fencing,
boxing, riding on horseback, and such
like exercises.
